Zia Park's handle soars

[Rudeboyelvis]

>>>Zia handled an average $536,316 a day on its live races from all sources this meet, up 23 percent from $435,229 during the corresponding season in 2013. The average was a track record. Of the total handle amount, an average $44,691 was bet on-track, up 4.7 percent, and another $491,625 bet off-track, an increase of 25 percent over 2013.<<<



I really enjoyed a departure from the norm this year and focused primarily on Canterbury and Zia Park. Canterbury is a nice break from the larger circuits, and the 14% takeout on P3 and P4's had me reeled in all meet.

But Zia Park to me is a rising force to be reckoned with. Full fields each race neutralize their absurd horizontal rake, and found the racing to be on par with what you'd expect - lower level, but still ultra-competitive.

I've become a big fan of the place, and apparently a lot of others have too:
